Written from "Hospital Huts." Writes, "I have examined Jedediah Norton a soldier in Colo. [John] Lamb's Regiment and find him ruptured which disqualifies him for field duty; but as the complaint existed previous to his inlistment, there is every reason to imagine he would (as many others have done) be sent out with the first levies next campaign in [case?] he was discharged, I can only recommend him as a proper subject to be transferred to the Corps of Invalids."
